The Delphi day trip was a day well spent during our short visit to Athens. Our driver, Ilias, was extremely professional and gave us very useful tips. The highlight of our trip was when Ilias took us to his favorite family-owned restaurant - undoubtedly the best local food we had during our trip. The trip is highly recommended and I hope you get Ilias as your driver!

After approximately 3 hours you will arrive at your main destination, 2Delphi Archaeological Site.

At the sacred archaeological site, you will get the chance to visit the Temple of Apollon, The Castalia Spring, the 3Delphi Archaeological Museum and the Great 4Ancient Theatre.

Following this, your driver will drop you off at a traditional Greek tavern so that you can enjoy a delicious lunch in Mount Parnassos. After your meal, you can continue your ride, on the idyllic mountain village of 5Arachova Village, located 968m above sea level.

Our driver/guide, Panagiotis, was very nice and accommodating. His driving was excellent and safe. He also provided us tips and information on the places we visited. He has an excellent luxury Mercedes van that we love so much. My family enjoyed the trip so much because of our driver and the vehicle and the snacks and water provided on the trip which made the trip exciting and very comfortable. I already recommended him and WelcomePickups to my brother who may plan to visit Greece again with his family sometime in the future.
What I liked the most of our trip is that Kosta had the sincerity in taking care of our entire family and ensuring that everyone had a good time!
Not only did we see how beautiful Greece is with a driving tour, but our driver, Nick, was exceptional. The entire experience from driving the country side in a more than comfortable car with snacks and bottles of water available, to seeing unforgettable sites, to becoming friends with our driver. We even had lunch together! Welcome Pickups is a great company after all.
